Altenew Watercolor Stamping with Spectrum Noir Aqua Markers

Hello!

Today, I'm stopping in with a card I made for Virginia's View Challenge #23 and Altenew's Ultimate Blog Hop! The challenge at Virginia's is to use Spray, Mist, and Splatter, with my card I used a spray and Splatter.

I started with Altenew's Painted Poppy set and stamped the poppy outlines. Then with my Spectrum Noir Aqua Markers, I colored the solid poppies, spritz it with pearlized water and then stamped. I layered a light color first, then added a darker color. For the flowers, I used Begonia, Blossom, Gold, and Sunset. For the leaf and stems, I used Moss and Leaf Green.

When all my watercolor stamping was done and dry I pulled out a palette and squiggled the Blossom, Gold, and Sunset. I added a bit of water to each color and splattered each color on my panel. I did wait for each color to dry before adding the next color.

When the splatter was dry I used Invisible Alpha to stamped Hello. I added a few black and gold sequins to the card and last adhered the panel to a white card base.

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

Chirp Up Soon

Hello!

I'm popping in with a card I made for Virginia's View Challenge! I was searching for some inspiration and found that the challenge has a link up party, with the theme of any type of friendship card. My card is for a friend that is a little down and needs some cheering up!!

I started by die cutting a stitched rectangle from water color card stock. Then I pulled out a Hero Arts stamp set that has been gathering dust, Layering Bird and Branch. I started with the bird using Papertrey Ink's Hawaiian Shores, Aqua Mists and Ocean Tides. For the beak, eyes and feet I used Smokey Shadow.

For the flowers I used Hero Arts Bubble Gum and Raspberry Jam inks and for the leaves Field Greens, and Forever Greens. I used PTI's Dark Chocolate for the branch and sentiment.

Last I added white sequins and then adhered the panel to a Kraft card base. The card is flat enough and even with the sequins I think it will go through the mail well enough!

Thanks for stopping by!!

Hi there!!!

Hope everyone is having a great week so far!! Next week is Thanksgiving!! I have a love/hate relationship with Thanksgiving, one one hand i love the family time and a big dinner, on the other hand it means work because i have a retail job that makes me think fondly of my old full time 8-5, weekends off and holiday's off office job!!! But then i remember just 2 more years i'll have a degree and a holiday's off!!!!

So anyway on to the card! I made this card for Virginia's View's Challenge #9 - All Things Metallic

I started by die cutting the flower from a gold metallic card stock. I also die cut it from a dark green card stock, which i then cut off the leaves and added them over the gold leaves. I adhered the whole thing on black card stock, then i trimmed off the excess card stock. I also used some gold smooch to color the flower center.

For my background i used The Alley Way Stamps Line Upon Line stamp set. I colored it up with a red distress marker, spritz it with pearlized water and stamped it on water color paper. I trimmed it up and added it to a dark brown card base.

I stamped the sentiment (from the TAWS All Wrapped Up set) along the bottom. Then i used foam tape to adhere the flower and as a last metallic touch i added gold enamel dots.

Thanks so much for stopping by!!
